WAR OFFICE—THE CHESIL BEACH (PORTLAND)—REMOVAL OF WRECKS.

asked the Secretary of State for War, If the Chesil Beach between Portland and Wyke Regis is under the jurisdiction of the War Office; and, if it is not, under whose jurisdiction it is; and, if under the War Office, would he, in the interests of the fishermen of Portland and Wyke Regis, give orders for the removal or blowing up of the remains of some wrecks which prevent the fishermen using their nets; or, if he declines to do so, if he will allow private individuals to remove the same in the best way they can?
